The 31-year-old striker brings with him a wealth of experience, including three promotions to the Premier League already.

He did it twice with Birmingham City - in 2006-07 and 2008-09 under the management of Steve Bruce and Alex McLeish respectively - and once with Norwich City, when Alex Neil led to Canaries to the top flight in 2014-15.

Looking back at those seasons, Jerome believes the signs are good for the Rams.

"There are so many similarities in terms of the way the manager is and what he demands from the players, the way the squad is, the personnel in the squad and the characters in the dressing room.

"You've got some big characters in that dressing room already without anyone else that the manager is going to bring in this window.

"They're a good set of lads - you can see that - and they are playing for each other this season.

"The manager has got them really at it and everybody feels a part of the squad.

"That's another key ingredient, I think, to keep everybody chomping at the bit and ready to rock and roll."
